Gravity and unification: a review

K Krasnov, R Percacci - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We review various classical unified theories of gravity and other interactions that have
appeared in the literature, paying special attention to scenarios in which spacetime remains …

BF gravity

M Celada, D González… - Classical and Quantum …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
BF gravity comprises all the formulations of gravity that are based on deformations of BF
theory. Such deformations consist of either constraints or potential terms added to the …

Actions for self-dual higher spin gravities

K Krasnov, E Skvortsov, T Tran - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract Higher Spin Gravities are scarce, but covariant actions for them are even scarcer.
We construct covariant actions for contractions of Chiral Higher Spin Gravity that represent …

[图书][B] Formulations of general relativity: Gravity, spinors and differential forms

K Krasnov - 2020 - books.google.com
This monograph describes the different formulations of Einstein's General Theory of
Relativity. Unlike traditional treatments, Cartan's geometry of fibre bundles and differential …

Quantum cosmology of pure connection general relativity

S Gielen, E Nash - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We study homogeneous cosmological models in formulations of general relativity with
cosmological constant based on a (complexified) connection rather than a spacetime metric …

Fermions in gravity with local spin-base invariance

H Gies, S Lippoldt - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We study a formulation of Dirac fermions in curved spacetime that respects general
coordinate invariance as well as invariance under local spin-base transformations. The …

Self-dual gravity in de Sitter space: Light-cone ansatz and static-patch scattering

Y Neiman - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Using Krasnov's formulation of general relativity, we develop a light cone ansatz for self-dual
gravity (along with linearized anti-self-dual perturbations) in the Poincare patch of de Sitter …

Self-dual gravity

K Krasnov - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Self-dual gravity is a diffeomorphism invariant theory in four dimensions that describes two
propagating polarisations of the graviton and has a negative mass dimension coupling …

Chiral approach to partially-massless fields

T Basile, S Dhasmana, E Skvortsov - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We propose a new (chiral) description of partially-massless fields in 4d, including
the partially-massless graviton, that is similar to the pure connection formulation for gravity …
